Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis. “He is still a child. Why are you scaring him? See, he is nearly in tears because of you.”
Elvis was quite satisfied with Fei Rui’s answer. Hence, he didn’t pursue the matter after Gu Mengmeng’s words. He just calmly recalled his pressure and said mildly, “As long as he doesn’t harbor any nefarious intentions, he will not encounter any unexpected misfortune.”
This chapter ended thus. Gu Mengmeng didn’t know at that time that the Bridges Tribe would become a powerful tribe in the near future. After all… she neglected the fact that fishes were very good at proliferating.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t attend Melinda and Carter’s wedding. After all, there were no elaborate formalities regarding weddings here. It was a simple and vulgar affair, where the couple directly entered the bedroom to consummate the marriage.
Although Gu Mengmeng had already borne four children, she was still conservative about watching others consummate. It would be too stimulating to listen to such sounds through the walls. No way.
Hence, Gu Mengmeng bid farewell to everyone at the seaside. Fei Rui remained to oversee Carter and Melinda’s partnering, before heading back to Saint Nazaire via the water route. Meanwhile, Gu Mengmeng and company headed back with the Kiss of the Ocean.
Gu Mengmeng wanted Wabei to go straight back to the Snake King valley, but he behaved in a non-committal manner, neither agreeing nor protesting.
Gu Mengmeng knew he was still worried about her, worried that he would be letting Snakel down if anything happened to her.
She was obviously now so powerful that she feared no one. But Wabei still treated her like a parent watching over his child. Gu Mengmeng was exasperated but not repelled.
Sometimes, she even felt that Wabei was like her own brother.
Rowdy bickering and rude behavior—but always shielding her from danger at all costs. No matter how powerful she was, he never believed that she could handle trouble and danger.
It was a pretty good feeling. After all, in the Beast World, a male was only good to a female with the motive of being her partner. Wabei was the exception.
If she must nitpick…
This brother was older than her by 800 years.
Tsk, this generation gap was a bit wide.
The journey back was uneventful. From time to time, Gu Mengmeng could detect others monitoring them from the darkness with ill-intent. But they were clearly afraid of Wabei and Elvis’ pressure and dared not reveal themselves.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. This… must be because of the Kiss of the Ocean?
“Ha, so convenient, “Wabei said lazily. “This is the first time a prey is following me. I don’t need to travel far to hunt.”
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes. “Can you not be so hardcore? We cannot attack before they make the first move.”
Wabei clicked his tongue impatiently, expressing disdain.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t back down and harrumphed right back at him.
It was night, and all was quiet.
Under the cover of darkness, several black figures tiptoed closer to the sleeping Gu Mengmeng.
They were secretly delighted. She might have fearsome powers but she was being too arrogant and reckless. Sleeping so soundly without any vigilance.
One hand reached towards Gu Mengmeng, wanting to steal the Kiss of the Ocean from her arms.
Before that hand could even touch her clothes, an intense pain shot through it. He looked down to see that a severe rot had appeared on his palm.
“Ah!” A wretched cry reverberated the night sky. In the next second, a pair of clear, blue eyes shone coldly in the dark like a devil of the night, sending chills down that person’s body.
